Solution

The correct option is D Common
'Widespread' means found or distributed over a large area or number of people.
"there was widespread support for the war"
In this context, "That railroads were ultimate mode of transport was a widespread belief before the 20th century", 'widespread' means common or general. Hence, option C is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
